Keys on a Shoestring
He wrangles keys on a shoe-string
a lanyard spiral rodeo
tightens down the yo-yo coil
orbiting lassoos
those propellers unlock logic
shrink the perimeter fans, man
tunnel like a vortex funnel
through the cortex, man
through a monochrome, twin-cone
tin-can telephone
keys on a shoe-string
ring and ring
pick it up, Andy,
giddy-up cowboy
How’s Trix?
How’s Trix?
How’s that lariat of an asterix?
Hello?
Hello!
Hello!
